Description

I will present a method, called LoopSim, designed to obtain approximate predictions of the NNLO QCD corrections to the processes with K factors >> 1. The method is based on unitarity and makes use of combining NLO results for different final state multiplicities. After validating the LoopSim procedure against known NNLO results for Drell-Yan lepton $p_t$ spectra I will show approximate NNLO results for the Z+jet observables. Finally, I will conclude with our predictions for dijets that can be compared to early LHC.
